Post-Prandial Hyperinsulinaemic Hypoglycaemia after Oesophageal Surgery in Children

Conclusion: PPHH may be an underdiagnosed complication in children undergoing surgery for oesophageal atresia.

Our cases demonstrate that continuous feeding regimens might be the only therapeutic option, until PPHH gradually lessens in intensity over time.Horm Res Paediatr
